bonwich Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 If you ever sat in Davis-Shaughnessy, the library, etc. and wondered what mysticism was taking place across Lindell, here's your chance to own a piece of it. A whole lot of fancy ashtrays, among other things. (And no Snake Plissken artifacts, dammit, although I thought he was dead.) https://www.igavelauctions.com/auctions/igavel-interiors-property-from-a-masonic-temple-st-louis-missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 When I was at SLU back in the early 70s my room mate and I went over to the Masonic temple to see what was inside. The curiosity was killing us. One of the masons met us at the entrance and to my surprise gave us a tour. I don't think we got to see all of it but to my surprise he showed us a lot and was very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 My fraternity had its initiation ceremonies there. We would sneak off and explore some of the areas that I don't think we were supposed to see. It's a pretty amazing facility - incredibly ornate. The elevator requires an operator. Definitely something you don't see too often these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It is just such an impressive and imposing structure. Nothing like it would be built today. I was in it once and surprising amount of the interior isn't finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
